away Monsieur followed without leading,
and now and then would thrust his nose
against the inaninate form They brought
Capt Hebard to New York and took him to
the old New England hospital, and Monsieur
came too and was quartered not far away,
and he stood day after day in his stall turn
ing with earnest look to see if each one who
came was not the Captain But he never
again carried nor saw the master whom he
whirled so often up and down before the
lines III the swamps of the ChickahOminy.
Capt. Hebard died and was taken to be
buried in the little cemetery near his fathers
farm in Connecticut, and here, too, Monsieur
followed him, He seemed to know his mas
ter was dead and he grieved for many weeks
He had rich pasturage and no labor, but
Monsieur never was the fiery Monsieur of
the Peninsula again. For years he logged
along with the old family carryall, and
sometimes under saddle, though this he
seemed to resent as a right held sacred to
memory Yet in all these years the smell
of powder stirred his blood, and when the
lads on Independence day pulled out the old
cannon and fired it on the green Monsieur
would not be restrained. He would arch his
neck again and prick his ears, and then can
ter back and forth in the field Just as he used
to do in battle.
Monsieur at last grew very rickety and
feeble. His joints We're stiff and there were
He could eat with difficulty and there came
a time some days ago when they knew it
would be mercy to put Monsieur to death.
They led him out into the field far back
from the farm house one morning recently
and the old hero seemed to understand. He
rubbed his nose against the barrels of the
| Winchesters moment and then went limp
| ing but contentedly along. When they had
come to a spot where the report of the rifles
could not reach the house-for to the people
| there it seemed almost like cruel assassina-
tion-they tried to tie Monsieur to a tree but
| he would not be tied. He stood perfectly
| still some distance from the tree and they
could not make him move farther Then the
| Winchesters were leveled at his shoulder.
| Monsieur knew. He raised himself bit,
arched his neck again for the last time, held
up his ears and for the moment seemed the
young Monsieur of 1862 Then he wheeled,
| faced the muzzles and lowered his head with
the utmost calmness to receive the bullets.
| For an instant he was perfectly still and
they thought they had aimed badly; then
his head fell and he went down upon his
| knees and rolled on his side He had heard
the report of musketry for the last time.

AN OLD SOLDIERS DEATH.
A Sad Scene on a Sunny Farm in the
County of Westchester.

A Sad Scene on Sunny Farm in the
County of Westchester.
From the Ne,v York Evening San.
There had been some thought of taking
NJ. Scotenors life with chloroform, but the
old servant protested. He insisted that
Monsieur expected to die like soldier, and
had never faltered in battle, the scars Of
which, received at Cold Harbor, Fair Oaks
and Malvern Hill, Monster still carried in
his TANKS and neck. And so they prepared
two Winchesters to execute the old warrior
in an honorable manner NJ. Scotenor was
New York horse, bred, if not foaled, on
one of the farms that used to flourish be-
tween Yorkville and Harlem. When Capt
Hebard bought him and rode him away to
the war, he was such precise, high-mettled,
wel-bred. dark and dapper little animal
that the Captain found in him some sugges-
ton of a Partisan he had known and called
him NJ Scotenor for that Frenchman.
When Monsieur and his owner found them
selves with Mcclellan on the Peninsula in
the spring of '62 it was in honorable and
dangerous service on the staff of Gen. Cor
man. Here Monsieur revealed his pluck and
his high breeding. The booming of cannon
in the distance more than once brought him
of his own motion to Capt. Hebards tent,
arching his neck and paving with gentle
impatience for the mount ana the Wlld gal
Ion before the guns. And when, at Cold
Harbor, bullet clipped him just under the
name. making q clean furrow across his
neck, he simply turned his head as far around
as he could, trying to catch the Captains
eve. He did not even tremble, and when
Capt Hebard spoke to him only one cheer
inc word, Monsieur seemed content and was
off at once, as though he felt it an honor to
have had that bullet.
And then again, when at Malvern Hill a
shoIt-range mimic ball cut through the flank,
Monsieur duivered little-he couldn't help
that-but when his master seemed about to
dislnount he showed his pride and pluck by
not permitting this to be DONE and carried
the Captain through the battle without a
sign of pain. He loved the smell of powder
and the smoke of cannon, and its roar set
every nerve and every drop of his high-bred
blood in splendid oxutation. When there
came defeat he knew it, and there were
times when he seemed sulkily to beat back
as il he wished bullet TO make retreat inn
possible. He had the most superb contempt
for horses of inferior blood and sometimes
wouid refuse to eat when such were near;
but when he saw the noble animal that car
ried Little Mac he would raise his ears, arch
his neck and by other dumb tokens give evil
dence of his respect
When Capt Hebard tainted and fell with
the first deadly portent of the swamp fever,
Monsieur stood patiently over him, no one
knows how long, until help came, and when
they lifted tho Captains body ard bore 1t

An Egyptian Funeral.
E,,om AZ RrookLnll Nnnrzine


A funeral in Egypt is indeed a strange
sight, and the first one the visitor sees as
tonisheS very much. At the head of the pro-
cession march a corporate body of the blind
and certain number of men, who proceed
at a quick step, singing most jubilant air,
while swinging themselves from right to
left. Behind them comes the funeral car, or
rather sort of bier, bearing n great red
shawl, in which the body is deposited. At
the extremity of the bier, on a perch, is
placed the turban or the tarbouche of the
defunct Two men carry this bier They
follow with such high spirits the movement
Of the head of the cortege that the corpse,
roc ed in every direction, seems to jump
under the shawl that shrouds it. The women
bring up the rear, some on asses, some on
foot The first row is formed of weepers or
rather screamers who send forth toward
heaven at each step the shrillest notes. The
weepels hold in their hand a handkerchief,
with which they are not solicitous of wiping
their eyes perfectly dry, but which they pull
by the two ends behind their head with a
gesture that would be desperate if it were
not droD. On arrival at the cemetery they
take the corpse from the bier to cast it, such
rs it is, into the grave The grand funerals,
however, take place with much more solem-
nifty. An importantpersonage is hardly dead
in Egypt before his friends and acquaint-
ance hurry TO the house; during one or two
days they eat and drink at the expense Of the
dead, or rather his heirs, indnlging in the
noisiest demonstrations. When the hour of
the interment arrives, a scene of the widest
character isproduced. The slaves and women
of the household throw themselves on the
corpse aud fegn determination TO hinder
it from passing the threshold. This lugubri
Gus tragedy is played conscientiously they
snatch away the coliir, they Delay each
other with blows, and the most violent and
frightful clamor is heard. AT last the pro-
cession leaves the house and repairs TO the
cemetery, preceded by camels loaded with
victualg. which arc distributed TO the poor
